An island that no one can reach and that did not exist until 1963

Today it’s quite clear that no matter how curious people are, how much they love to travel and discover something new for themselves and the world, there are places on our planet that you can never reach. One of them is the unique island of Surtsey in Iceland.

Surtsey is a plot of land formed in 1963 after a huge volcanic eruption that lasted three years. Now this land is used for scientific research and observation.

The focus here is on a better understanding of how an ecosystem is formed from scratch, without any human intervention.

There are only a few scientists who have access to the island. And this makes Surtsay one of the most forbidden and mysterious places on Earth.

One curious story about tomatoes is connected with the island. Since the territory is carefully monitored, there is only one small house in which several researchers live. Before entering Syurtsei, everyone undergoes a strict search, because one of the main rules is that no seeds get on the island.

Apparently, one of the scientists took this rule still not seriously enough, and at some point tomato bushes appeared on the island.

This really puzzled the experts.

But after the origin of the plants was found out, the bushes were immediately destroyed, because they could interfere with scientific research.

But one of the first plants that appeared on the island without outside interference was moss.

Fulmar and guillemots became the first species of animals that settled on the island.
